Three cities in Texas have the highest percentage of adults with fair or poor health, according to WalletHub’s annual ranking, published July 7.
To determine the ranking, WalletHub compared 182 cities across four dimensions — work stress, financial stress, family stress, and health and safety stress — and evaluated those dimensions using 39 weighted metrics.
